If I down load a rom and open the zip file can i just goto system/apps and delete and install .apks and then flash that rom? I was wondering so i don't have to delete them after install.

Depends on what your deleting and adding, if your just deleting and adding apks to the system/app dir you should be ok (normally) . If you want it to stay as an update type zip it'll need to be resigned.

U can Add and delete what u like but if u do u have to resign the rom before u can flash it.
If u download avabox2 (can be found on xda via a search...its free) it has a folder in there called autosign. Put the rom in there rename it update the click on the sign file. It will sign it for u automatically. Then u can rename the signed rom whatever u like. Just no spaces in the name. Then it can be reflashed.
sweet thanks. Just thinking about starting to make my own roms and this seemed like a good place to start

ok how do you put a app on ur phone when you download it from the web n u only get a zip file..thz
some of them either have the .apk extension changed to .zip, for those just change .zip to .apk
others are in the .zip file and have to be extracted.
the OP will usually say which of these have to be done. or you can just open the .zip file and look. if it has the .apk inside of the .zip file then extract.
if it has a bunch of folders then rename .zip to .apk

I would like to use this Phone.apk file in this ROM.
Do I just unzip the ROM, replace the .apk, rezip the ROM, sign the .zip, and flash?
Is there only one Phone.apk file to replace?
Last thing I want is a paper-weight
Thanks!
I just thought of this: could I just install the .apk via a file manager (as long as unknown sources are checked)?

First, you're not going to brick your phone.
Second, I don't know how CSDI works. Try it and find out.

No. Maybe if you remount /system in read-write, even then it's probably easier to try it by just replacing and resigning.
I know in donut, you can just replace it without any problems (like other system apps depending on it). Don't know about anything else.
Edit:
1. unzip and copy Phone.apk to /sdcard
2. remount system rw
3. cat /sdcard/Phone.apk > /system/app/Phone.apk
4. rm /system/app/Phone.odex (only do this if there is a Phone.odex file)

There's what the thread says about installing it, have you tried? (Nandroid in case that ROM doesn't like it.)
Hello everyone,
Can someone please inform and post a thread link of a battery mod that works on the i9001? By battery mod I mean small zip file that is installed from recovery and changes the stock battery meter
You can make it yourselt.
1. Use Root Explorer to get your framework-res.apk file
2. Go to http://uot.dakra.lt/ to customize it yourselt.
3. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707 to download the Root-i9001-Signed.zip
4. Put the modified framework-res.apk in the above zip file and delete the unneeded files.
5. Update the updater-script file, resign the zip file.
6. Flash the zip file in recovery.

If you use manveru0's kernal and recovery you can now flash the update files as they come from the kitchen

Firmware version : 2.3.4
baseband version I9001XXKP4
Kernel Version : [email protected] #7

I use Go launcher (from my opinion it's the best), if you think otherwise please post the better launcher, I am opened to experiment others.
Many thanks,

I don't have a I9001XXKP4 Rom in my hard drive. If you can send your your framework-res.apk, I can make one for you.

just used this. twice great kitchen, really revamped some of the more boring icons on stock roms. thanks for the tip!!
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_signed.zip is the file that I updated the updater-script so you can flash it in the in-build recovery.
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_original_signed.zip is your original file. If there are any issues, you can flash it back in the in-build recovery.
How to:
Copy the zip file to the internal SD card, not the external one, go to recovery, flash it.

nope because you will end up in a bootloop by flashing this
its only for XXKP4

I already received the cooked file
but I dont know how to change the update script and end up failing to update using the zip file.
can you please help me?
or link me to a place that really can help me to learn better on changing the update script.
try this one, I updated the updater-script, you can compare it with the one from kitchen.
PS: Forgot to update the update-binary file, now try the new one. It should work.
Thanks!!!! But I got an error that states
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 2)
I wonder whats wrong.
looked in a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194245&page=3
and from what I understand it seems to be a problem with the update binary. But Im just an end user and this is too much for me.
anyway maybe Ill try to flash the cranium ROM and try to cook again a new one and use your update script.
cheers!!
Hi,
Is there any posibility to change framework-res.apk file without CWM? I don't want to instal CWM becouse of it has a problem with front side cam and I need this cam. It's can't be overwritten when the phone works. Maybe some adb and push command is possible.
Could you help me by describing the whole procedure? Sorry for my English.
@quest221
Can you maybe make one for Android 2.3.5 like the screenshot @ page 1?
I have baseband I9001XXKPF, Build XXKPG
I update the zip file with the new update-binary file.

Yes, I just use the recovery from Samsung, not the third-party.
Check the post #2, that's the steps. Also replace the update-binary file with the one in my zip file.

Yes it is if you know to make a cwm zip .or if you dont,download a cwm flashable mod and edit it for your work
Download 7 zip you can use it to edit files without unzipping. Use NotePad ++ to edit build.prop and pretty much anything else for that matter

You can use 7-Zip to add or remove file from the cwm zip. You can also edit the script (text) file in it.

Remember some of the apps have the associate library files. You need to load these files into the system/lib folder before the apps can run.

Actually, i have to read about creating a cwm zip file. After that, i can maybe be able to make a zip to install whatever i have.
Thanks for your help...
(It was a bit easer in winmo times. You could just make a new folder with your cab files and after rom installation they could be installed)
I wanna make my privat rom. But from begginig it will be based on Ultrasound 3.1. I will not change kernel or any settings. I just wanna add some Apps. So if I unpack this rom and put some my apk's into \system\app\ and pack again. Instalation via CWM will be working ? What I need more to do that corectly ?
If you use dsixda's Android Kitchen you can do this.
But if you "unzip" and then "zip" it you won't be able to do so unless you sign it.

As you just want to add a few apps, no need of the kitchen......just use winrar or 7zip to open the archive, Do not extract it. Rename your apk files to anything without spaces and drag into the system/app folder. Close winzip. Done.
